  • Patent number: 11716588
    Abstract: A system for proximity-based analysis of multiple entities includes a first communication device associated with a first entity and an additional communication device associated with an additional entity, wherein the first communication device and the additional communication device are communicatively couplable. The system includes one or more processors communicatively coupled to at least one of the first communication device or the at least an additional communication device. The one or more processors are configured to: identify a spatial relationship between the first entity and the additional entity based on one or more signals from the first communication device or the additional communication device, identify an operation unit defined by an association between the first entity and the additional entity based on the spatial relationship between the first entity and the at least the additional entity, and report one or more characteristics of the operation unit.

  • Patent number: 11612092
    Abstract: An agricultural system comprising includes a support assembly having one or more support structures and one or more propulsion units coupled to the one or more support structures. The agricultural system includes one or more actuatable work tool assemblies having one or more measurement attachments configured to perform one or more measurements of at least one of one or more objects or one or more regions within an environment. The one or more actuatable work tool assemblies may be actuated by one or more actuation systems. The agricultural system may include a controller configured to cause one or more processors to direct the one or more actuation systems to actuate the one or more actuatable work tool assemblies position to perform one or more measurements of at least one of one or more objects or one or more regions within the environment.
